YAY! Thanks, Friends!!!! We are going out with my dad, Harry's mom and our favorite neighbor couple to a Seafood Buffet!!!! I usually stay away from buffets cuz I can't eat the 'price-worth' but I expect a whole lot of yummy choices. My biggest b-day gift is going to be getting my hair highlighted. I'm getting a lot of grays and probably should have started full-time coloring 5 years ago but I'm embracing my natural self until I can't stand it anymore and I'm starting with highlights....

I have to admit that I have forsaken 'all things dog' for the past 2 months as my dad has been diagnosed with parkinsons + dementia and the dementia side of that equation is going to be a real horror... Luckily things are not too bad yet but I've joined 2 parkinson's forums and 2 dementia forums and ordered some books - so I'm immersing myself in the learning curve right of these 2 crappy diseases. I'd rather be reading about dogs and lookign at their happy pictures!! Thank you for the nice birthday with!!!!!!!!!!

Well good for you! "Embracing our natural selves" sucks IMO. Go for the coloring!

I wish you all the positive vibes imaginable, in your quest to help your Dad, and yourself through this.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.
